roads.
Operating and maintenance costs,
including gas, oil, tires and repairs,'
averaged 3.07 cents per mile on earth
roads, 2.17 cents on gravel and 1.44
on pavement.
These figures, released after an
article written for Michigan Alum-
nus by Professor Morrison was pub-
lished, prove even more conclusively
his statements in that discussion.
Concerning this subject, he said:
"Every plain gravel road in Mich-
igan collects a tax of about one-half
cent a mile, or more, from the owner
of every automobile which passes over
it. That is the added cost of gaso-
line, tires, and maintenance, as com-
pared with the operating costs on a
smooth pavement.

of Alumni Relations, as the chief
reasons for enlarging the offices of

added that more work on the regular

Daily reporters were quite unable to

ascertain from certain persons "in

emitting a blood-curdling "E-gyp-

of his organization "even if we have
to take the Pyramids apart stone by

iFiremen Batle In Cold
To Put Out $10,000 Fire
Although city firemen battled in
20 degree cold to extinguish it, a $10,-
000 fire swept a home at 223 Crest
Ave. yesterday.
Discovery of the fire was male by
students of the Slauson school who
saw smoke from a classroom window.
The fire department was notified but
its efforts proved unavailing and the
building was almost completely de-
stroyed. Several thousand dollars
damage was done to furniture with
the building itself suffering to the ex-
tent of approximately $8,000.
